Communications on Stefan Sunde & EY
John Luke made this Official Information request to Tama Potaka
Tama Potaka did not have the information requested.
From: John Luke
Dear Minister,
I am requesting:
all correspondence with Stefan Sunde (Sunde is a member of the National party board of directors)
all correspondence mentioning Stefan Sunde or "Stefan"
Plus, all correspondence about EY (Ernst & Young or Ernst and Young) including:
any mention of their 'scandal'
'secret drinking club'
'PR nightmare'
'sexual harassment'
The above mentioned terms are related to recent articles on EY and their 'probe' into misconduct. The probe investigated numerous staff members, with resignations as a result.
Sunde has worked at EY for four years, covering the period being investigated.
He leaves EY in July, with no job other job to step into, and has requested people contact him with help for a new role. Please refer to LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stefan-su...
His post has no 'likes' from directors or partners, in what one can assume is an attempt to distance themselves and not be affiliated him Sunde.
Regards.
John Luke

Tçnâ koe,
Thank you for contacting the office of Hon Tama Potaka, Minister of
Conservation, Minister of Mâori Development, Minister of Mâori-Crown
Relations, Minister of Whânau Ora, and Associate Minister for Housing
(Social Housing).
The Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you

• Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed as
soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course. Please note this email is an acknowledgment that your
invitation/request has been received.
• If you have made a request for official information then this will
be managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982, which may include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency
• If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you
•If your email expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple Members
of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your correspondence may
